[EVO 4G General] Sirchuk:
My understanding is that the chip also holds the firmware, or part of it, so desoldering the chip would brick the phone. It may be possible to desolder the chip and replace it with a new one and copy over the firmware information. But how many would be able to do this? Very very few..probably only a handful.

[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
I might be mistaken about this, but doesn't the original Droid have an unlocked bootloader? I mean, from what I hear, it's regarded as the original developer phone, and I can't see it gaining that title with a locked bootloader AND eFuse.
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
The original droid had unlocked bootloader cuz of moto's business dealings with google at the time, which was out of the norm for them. Apparently this efuse chip was in the droid, milestone, and droidx and does the the advertised capability to brick your phone, it just isn't being utilized by motorola apparently. or thats what I've gathered so far.
[EVO 4G General] manooti:
i agree htc is like google but im going to go a step further amd say they "want" to let us customize it as much as possible. what i think is that HTC, to keep their sales ranks, tries to comply with cell companies because, from what i understand, they are the ones that dont want us rooting mainly because of the wifi situation. im guessing also because of the bricking going on by novices lol

what moto is doing with the droid x is just wrong. intentionally bricking a device for a owner trying to customize is pure sabotage! if this happens i dont doubt theyll know the owner tinkered with it and not honor a replacement. that just sucks :(

Motorola Milestone - USB OTG - USBHost Mode

Found on Chris Paget's blog and since there isn't anything related, I'm postin' it here for xda-devs (with some clarifications and corrections in his words).

You’ll need to make two things, a micro-dongle to enable the USBHost mode (that you'll plugin during boot time) and a cable with the right connectors on each end (for connecting your peripheral).

To do this you’ll need three cables:

- A car charging cable (off-the-shelf at the Verizon store)

- A Micro-USB cable (as above)

- A USB extender cable (the tiny ones that sometimes come free with USB keys work great)

Start with the car charging cable. Break open the micro-usb connector (it comes apart fairly easily) and look at the little PCB inside – there should be a single tiny surface-mount resistor and two wires from the charger cable. Unsolder both wires and the resistor, and then bridge the pads where the resistor used to be so that it’s completely shorted.

The end result should look something like this:

(Micro Dongle)

Next up, you need to make your connector cable. Cut the end off the USB extender cable, you want to keep the socket end and discard the plug. Cut the micro-usb cable as well, but on this one you want to keep the plug and discard the socket. You should now have a micro-usb plug that’ll fit into your droid and a usb socket that you could plug a memory stick into. Strip the wires off the ends of both cables and join them to each other, connecting like colours (and the shield) together. When it’s finished it should look something like this:

For using USB-Host mode and your USB peripherals you have to do the following:

- Turn your Milestone off

- Plug the micro-dongle into the USB port

- Turn the Milestone on

- Unplug the micro-dongle as soon as the Motorola logo disappears (when the Android bootscreen is appearing).

Once your Milestone is booted, pull up a terminal and look at dmesg – after plugging in your USB peripheral using the cable you made earlier you should see the usual kernel notifications about new USB devices being connected; they’ll also turn on (or start charging) if they’re powered by USB.

You’ll only be able to plug in one peripheral before the port reverts to peripheral mode and you’ll have to reboot with the micro-dongle if you want to go back into host mode.

Also,

if you leave the micro-dongle plugged in too long it triggers another bug, the port gets stuck supplying power to devices but not actually recognising them

. Hopefully the drivers are sufficiently open-source that these are easy bugs to squash, and that dynamically switching between host mode and peripheral mode won’t be too hard to add either.

USB external storage won't work, but USB Keyboards are working. Anyway, we can compile a module for making the Linux kernel to recognize all we want since we can insmod as root.

Hi,

Some schematics or blueprint that you can upload here?. Look great!!!

EDIT: Got it!: http://sites.google.com/a/gowthamj.com/www/
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] beju69:
i do host cable with blueprint from post #6 and... Something work :)

I'dont have any classic usb keybord (only wireless), but i try with usb storage.

After reboot and pressing button red led on pendrive blink a few times, after i release button (after M logo) they turned black.

It means that cable is ok, in dmesg i saw notification of connecting USB Device. But without drivers in kernel we can put this in our... boxes with accesories... kernel is locked, host usb is IMO only a funny feature of Motorola Milestone
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] royalcs:
Cant we use the modules they use to connect usb memory sticks to their N1s?

Would this work?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Coburn64:
No, because the N1 uses a different kernel and modules as to the Motorola Milestone.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSSJ:
Please ppl don't become offensive...Just ignore some posts and let's continue to be productive about the topic :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dlbogdan:
we can try to load modules for the kernel. no need for custom kernel. just compile the module sources against the milestone kernel and present libs (for ex. the now famous kernel 2.6.32.9-ge635aa4 :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Khul:
wow jumpi huh? no need to mate, not being smarta*, just returning your "we all know that" right back at ya. nothing more, its all good.

anyways, i didnt think you could actually add more drivers and get them to load properly... thats nice to hear.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mhnx:
Awesome!!Nice guide!!! Thank you!!!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] masin20:
Tried to get this working on a Milestone and am not having much luck. After inserting the dongle and removing it, the phone loads the host drivers and controller but won't recognize any device (including a keyboard). The keyboard is the first thing I plugged in.

If I plug the phone into a computer while in this mode, the computer doesn't see the phone and it doesn't charge, so it's not switching back to peripheral mode. Using cat /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode I get b_idle, which is where the phone seems to be locked (normally plugged into the computer this displays b_peripheral).

When plugging in the keyboard I don't get an attach message in dmesg, but do get cpcap_batt_irq_hdlr: irq =75. Does this mean that the phone is supplying power to the keyboard?

I've also seen output like this:

Any ideas? Is there specific timing as to when the peripheral should be plugged in? I'd just like to get a keyboard working before trying anything else since Chris commented that it "just worked" once he was in host mode.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nokiadashi:
Just tried Infinity v 0.2.8, I should say it feels better than old version and it feels much lighter than SPB Mobile Shell.

I love Infinity’s looking!

Infinity will be definitely my next UI I will use for my mobile devices if developers can add the following modifications:

1.	please do not totally replace original WM top taskbar.

1% battery indicator, Phoneweaver profile’s indicator etc etc are all displayed in WM top taskbar, after launch Infintiy,they are gone,this means Infinity completely replaces original WM top taskbar.

If you cannot change this,at least design a nice 1% battery indicator. We cant live without this.

2.	to continue point No 1, Infinity also replaces other program’s toolbars, for example, Resco Photo Viewer v6.33,the toolbar is gone! This toolbar (contains zoom button etc) is very important for me, allowing me to zoom pictures accurately and quickly, that’s why I will not use Resco Photo Viewer v7.0 or higher,because they don’t have this convenient toolbar. Resco Photo Viewer v6.33 is best for viewing pictures; Now Infinity takes away its toolbar, I doubt I can use Infinity like this.[IMPORTANT]

3.	Infinity also replaces original “X” tap, in WM you can go to settings/system/task manager/button/enable the "X" button to end running/end programs by tapping "X". Yes, I want program to quit immediately after I hit “X”, but Infinity disables this,the program is still running in the background after you hit “X”,there is no option for you to choose as to end program or minimize program. [IMPORTANT]

4.	pls design a nice task manager widget with the option to assign it to the right soft key. [IMPORTANT]

5.	pls add an option to make the desktop only one page. With now 3 pages, you can slide to left or right,it’s fun,but if you accidentally slide the page to left or right,you have to slide to find out the right page where you put all the shortcuts, this is not productive, for most of people,one page of desktop is optimal.

6.	cannot we just use any picture to be desktop background? This is a easy script for programmer to write,isn’t it? So pls add this option. [IMPORTANT]

7.	at last, I think it’s nice if Infinity can backup all the settings. Adding a program’s shortcut to the desktop is not straightforward, for example, I want to place Phoneweaver in desktop, the procedure goes like this: tap the desktop for 3 seconds>click right corner + button>Shortcut>click this new shortcut icon in the desktop>Show widget options>Path>(find the Phoneweaver icon>ok> tap the desktop for 3 seconds to finish.

You can imagine how much pain and time you will go though if you reinstall Infinity,if you can backup all settings and restore in future, you can save lots of trouble.

These are not bugs,just improvements that one of users want our diligent Infinity programmers to consider. Thank you for this excellent software!

Please note Infinity is still under development, Infinity v0.2.8 is not yet a finished product.

i use it and it is everything i need.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] demonlordoftheround:
To the OP, your comments would be better suited on the developer's site. Ageye has stated that further development of Infinity is unlikely since the current WindowsPhone OS will soon be obsolete. Too bad. I really liked this shell.

Regarding adding more dock icons, simply swipe the bottom portion of the screen left or right. It SHOULD take you to a set of five blank dock items. From there you simply long press on each icon you want to replace with a shortcut.

[Droid X General] DeathJester:
With the IT press getting hold of information regarding the Droid X (Slashdot story here) I thought I'd start a thread regarding this significant find.

As of posting, this is not confirmed. There's no credible source for this information yet, just a community hacker like most of us. If anyone finds better sourced information, post it here.

Mods: Might want to sticky this one ;)

From the /. article:

"If the eFuse failes to verify this information then the eFuse receives a command to "blow the fuse" or "trip the fuse". This results in the booting process becoming corrupted and resulting in a permanent bricking of the Phone. This FailSafe is activated anytime the bootloader is tampered with or any of the above three parts of the phone has been tampered with."

EDIT: I understand there have been threads about this already, but they've moved down the rankings. Lots of people will be looking for information on this topic, and there doesn't seem to be any. A single thread for discussion and information posting seemed appropriate.
[Droid X General] ThinkDifferently:
Go to boygeniusreport.com, scroll down and find "Reality Check: Modding the DROID X may not lead to a bricked phone."

eFuses have been in phones with TI's OMAP processors for a while now, but they have not been used to brick phones because of custom modifications to the phone. The phone still has an encrypted bootloader which will be hard to crack like just like the Milestone's but it doesnt necessarily mean that the eFuse will trip if the bootloader messed with.

Again, this is still an educated speculation and cant be confirmed until someone goes around and finds a way to unlock the bootloader and flashes a custom ROM on it (hopefully successfully :P)
